Synopsis
Crimefighters Batman and Robin begin investigating a ring of Japanese saboteurs who plan to steal the city's radium supply. The gang kidnaps Martin Warren, the uncle of Batman's girl friend, Linda, and forces him to reveal the location of the precious element. Batman and Robin are waiting for the criminals at the radium vault; and in the ensuing fight, the "dynamic duo" capture one of the saboteurs, who reveals that the gang, led by the evil scientist Dr. Daka, intended to take the radium to their hideout, the House of the Open Door. In disguise, the dynamic duo penetrate the gang's lair and discover Linda bound, gagged, and unconscious. Attacked by the gang, Batman and Robin escape with Linda. Dr. Daka, assisted by a group of zombies he controls by means of a magic ring, uses many traps attempting to kill the dynamic duo, but the intrepid enemies of crime escape death each time. Finally, they capture the evil doctor and force him to return Linda and Warren (who have been turned into zombies) to normal. Daka tries to flee the arriving police and falls into a pit of alligators in which he had tried to trap Batman.
